Trucking impressions

So, I am about a month into my new line of work as a trucker.
Basically I am driving gravel/dirt and other shaft materials, either to or from a project.
My impressions are that I should have gone through this darn trucking education years ago, directly after my excavator education...
Oh well, better late than never right?
When all is well and the the is rolling at max speed at the highway, then I truly feel like at home.
Other times when manuevering through complicated terrain my brain does flips inside my head.
And sinking through mud is always interesting... Spintires prepared me for this.
But, I have been feeling rather disturbed or maybe stressed since there are alot of details and rules (and then I mean ALOT of rules) to understand and to have fully memorized.
Basically when I come home from work I am like completely paralyzed, unable to concentrate on gaming or drawing or anything at all for that matter. Just completely frozen.
Sure does not help that I have to force myself to bed 9 pm when I have for a longer time been staying up for 11:00 pm or almost midnight... This is because I have to go up 4:45 am in the morning, I need that sleep wether I like it or not.
For the most part I have been watching series or Youtube when coming home, since I lack any energy to do anything when getting home.
I hope this is just temporary since for the moment I have lost almost all my energy to draw anything like at all. Productivity has ceased.
Weekends have become weird as well, my brain thinks I am still at work so even if I go to bed at midnight I wake up 5-6 am the following morning.
I have managed to speak with the bosses at the workplace to give me three weeks off during the summer. I will spend two weeks at my summerplace and one at home.
Maybe I'll get back my energy then.
